Ask Us about White Fillings
Composites are fillings that are designed to match the color of
your teeth. They may be used to restore a decayed tooth or repair
a defect.
A composite can be prepared and placed in one visit. After the decayed
part of the tooth is removed, the dentist uses a very mild acid
solution to "etch" the tooth surface. A bonding agent
is brushed onto the prepared tooth. The dentist then applies several
thin layers of the tooth-colored composite. Once the composite filling
is placed, the material is chemically hardened, or cured with a
special light, and polished.
